At this moment, everyone got out of the cars and was stunned by the sight of the vast manor in front of them! For more than ten minutes, they could not recover their senses as if they had arrived in a fairyland. They saw a whole row of classic castle buildings with five or six floors, all grand and majestic. It was just like the Palace of Versailles, with drawings of the gods ascending to the sky. It seemed to carry traces of myths and history of various countries. A huge golden-bronze gate stood in the center of this classic castle building carved with world maps and various mythological characters. Everything looked like a treasure of humankind. Martha was already shocked by the scene before her eyes and could not stand still anymore. When she got out of the car, she realized how luxurious and big this place was. It was really very big, too big for her to imagine or understand. In the world, there was actually such a large manor and such a luxurious interior! At thi
Martha was dumbfounded at Philip’s words Lucky? Why did it sound like a dog’s name? Philip was not going to let her sleep in the doghouse, right? For a moment, Martha panicked. She quickly grabbed Philip’s arm and said with a smile, “Son-in-law, don't be ridiculous. I’m your mother-in-law, after all. And I’m Wynn’s mother. How can you bear to let me stay in a doghouse? It doesn’t sound good if word of this spreads out.” Martha laughed and the wrinkles on her face squeezed together, looking very ugly. Hehe. Philip turned his head, pulled his arm away from Martha’s grip, and said coldly, “Do you think I'm joking with you? Do you think I brought you back to enjoy life?” Thump! Martha panicked and stammered, “Isn’t that so?” Philip shook his head, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He said to the servant, “Take her away.” Hearing that, the servant motioned to two bodyguards in black suits who dragged Martha away. This caused Martha to panic. She stru
Martha looked over. The four dogs had their tongues out, looking ferocious. They all stared fixedly at her! Woof, woof! With a series of barks, the four pit bulls wanted to rush over to bite Martha. She was so scared that she struggled and cried as she tried to run. Fat Aunt pulled the leashes in her hand and ordered, “Lucky, sit down!” The four pit bulls sat down in unison. Martha was about to kneel in fright. Her face was full of tears as she wailed, “I don't want to live here. I’m scared of dogs. Save me.” However, her screaming was to no avail. Fat Aunt looked at Martha and said with a smile, “I get it. I’ll make arrangements for this person.” The maid nodded with a smile before she turned and left. Soon, only Fat Aunt and Martha remained, as well as four pit bulls that kept sticking their tongues out and staring at Martha. Martha stood remained in the same spot, trembling all over. She did not dare to move. She was extremely flustered. These four dogs looked
Philip sat in the yacht and approached the small island’s port. At this moment, more than a dozen fully-armed Clarke family’s guards were standing guard there. Philip got off the yacht and just stepped ashore when he was greeted with a bear hug by a stout, dark-skinned man with a smile on his face. “Welcome back.” The man, about 30 years old, grinned with a mouthful of white teeth. Philip smiled and hugged him for a while before letting go. He said, “Buck, it’s been a while.” Buck Jolly patted Philip on the shoulder with a face full of smiles. He reached out to hammer the other party’s chest and said, “Good on you. You’ve been gone for more than seven years and your body is still in good shape with no signs of falling behind. In a moment, I want to see if you’ve forgotten what I taught you.” Philip smiled as he followed the man forward and said, “Okay.” Buck Jolly was the captain of the Clarke family’s sixth guard squad. He could also be considered as Philip’s master befo
Just like that, Philip stood in front of the tombstone for two hours. Finally, he smiled, looked up at the blue sky, took a deep breath, and said, “Mom, I’m leaving now. I’ll come and see you again next time.” With that said, Philip put on his sunglasses and turned around. The moment he turned around, there seemed to be a gentle breeze across Philip’s cheek. It was like a mother's gentle embrace. There seemed to be a whisper in his ear. “Phil, I love you.” With a smile, Philip walked down the stone steps of the mausoleum slowly. At the main entrance of the mausoleum, more than a dozen guards in military attire stood silently as they watched Philip walk down. Even Buck Jolly from earlier dared not be the first to break the silence at this time. Philip smiled and said to Buck, “Buck, let’s go and have a spar.” Upon hearing this, Buck immediately smiled and said, “Okay, let’s go.” There was an empty space at a nearby training field. Buck had taken off his military un
Upon hearing that, Buck’s expression changed and he asked in surprise, “Are you going to deal with the branch family?” Philip took a deep breath, stood up, looked at the vast Arcadia Island across, and said, “That’s right.” With that said, he turned around, looked at Buck, and said, “Buck, when the time comes, I may have to trouble you guys.” Buck frowned, thought for a moment, and said, “Philip, you’re the young master of the Clarke family. By right, you’re my young master. I don’t dare to disobey your orders. Even if you send us to our deaths, we won’t have any complaints. But as your buddy, I have to remind you that the branch family isn’t as simple as you think. I hope you can think twice before you act.” Philip smiled and said, “I know that the influence of the branch family on Arcadia Island, their assets invested in the outside world, as well as their connections, are not things I can contend with. Especially since I’ve just returned. But how will I know the results if I
The table was full of delicacies. Wynn was taken aback when she saw the sumptuous spread and said, “Fourth Mother, there’s no need to prepare so much. I can't eat it all.” Hazel pouted and said, “Hey, you just got here, so how can we let you suffer? Don’t worry if you can’t finish it. Just eat whatever you like. If it's not enough, I’ll ask the chef to cook more.” Wynn smiled and knew that Fourth Mother doted on her, but faced with the sumptuous spread on the table, she really could not accept it for a while. Just when Hazel and Nadia were taking care of Wynn lovingly, eating and chatting with her, as well as asking about how Philip had been all these years, a group of people suddenly barged in uninvited through the door! The leader was the young master of the branch family, Kelsey Clarke. It was the same guy who went to Uppercreek to show off and was taught a good lesson by Philip. With his hands in his trouser pockets, he was dressed in expensive branded clothes and leath
With that said, a cold glint flashed in Kelsey’s eyes and he said, “Men, invite this sister-in-law of mine to the branch family.” Clatter! Instantly, several elite guards of the branch family rushed in and tried to grab Wynn! Nadia stepped forward and reprimanded, “I’ll see who dares to take my daughter-in-law in the main family’s territory today!” While saying that, Nadia was full of chills, which shocked the branch family’s guards so much that they dared not move forward! That was because she was the madam of the main family with a distinguished status. If they dared to offend the madam or touched her a little, they would be dead if an investigation was carried out later! Kelsey’s face darkened. He went over, kicked the waist of the guard he brought over, and yelled, “Didn’t you hear what I said? I told you to grab her!” The guards wanted to cry, but they bit the bullet and stepped forward. As a result... Smack! Nadia slapped them, her face looking fierce with a
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
